In the old days, you could do something illegal, something awful and disturbing (in this case, both), and you’d get away with it because any witnesses were afraid of your friends and anyway, they had no evidence.

Now if you do something horrible, and one of the witnesses has a cell phone camera, everyone in the whole world finds out what you did.
From MrsDoF, who as a mother and former nurse has a few things to say on the matter.
